BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BREMERTON at its regular session that at a public election to be
held on the 8th day of November, 1983, there shall be submitted
to the qualified voters of the City for approval and ratification
or rejection amendments to the Charter of the City of Bremerton
as set forth in the following proposition:
ARTICLE II, ELECTIVE OFFICERS
SECTION 7 - Vacancies: The office of any elective officer shall
be deemed vacant in case of failure to qualify within two days
after the beginning of the term for which he was elected, or by
reason of his death, resignation, removal from office, removal
from the City, continuous absence from the City for more than
thirty days during his term of office without the consent of
council, conviction of a felony, incompetency judicially
declared, or the occurrence of any other events which are
declared by state law to create a vacancy. In the event of an
extended absence or disability of a Council member, the remaining
members of the Council, by a majority vote, may appoint a Council
member Pro Tempore from the respective district to serve during
the absence or disability. If any elective officer shall be
absent from the City more than thirty days in any calendar year
without the consent of the Council, unless on business of the
City, his salary shall be correspondingly diminished. A vacancy
occurring otherwise than by recall, or by resignation after
recall petition is filed, shall be filled by appointment by the
City Council unless the unexpired term be two years or longer.
If, after thirty days, the Council is unable to agree upon a
person to be appointed to fill a vacancy in the Council, Council
shall submit the names of two Council nominees to the Mayor, who
shall make the appointment of the Council member Pro Tempore from
those names submitted. A vacancy occurring by recall, or by
resignation after recall petition is filed, shall be filled by
special election, which shall be held within sixty days after
such vacancy occurs. In the event that there are more than four
vacancies in the City Council which are required to be filled by
an election, the Governor shall be requested to temporarily fill
such vacancies from qualified electors residing within the City
of Bremerton until there is a quorum in the City Council, at
which time the City Council shall immediately call a special
election to permanently fill such vacancies.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton
this 14 day of September, 1983.
